Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael J. Ferola, Appellant Pro Se. Lisa Arlene Thomas, THOMPSON & HENRY, PA, Conway, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Michael J. Ferola filed a

(2012) action

asserting claims of denial of access to the courts and failure

to protect. The district court accepted in part the magistrate

judge’s recommendation and granted summary judgment to

defendants on Ferola’s access to the courts claims. The

surviving failure to protect claim against Defendant Fulton

proceeded to trial and the jury ruled in Fulton’s favor. Ferola

appeals the denial of relief on his claims. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm. Ferola v. Fulton, No. 9:13-cv-02413-RBH (D.S.C. Mar. 3,

2015 & Aug. 23, 2016). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
